This past weekend I went with Lindsay to her dad's church in Wasila. Her parents were missionaries when Lindsay was growing up and they have lived in some really neat places including France and Togo, Africa. Her dad is now the founding pastor of a new church called Settler's Bay Community Church. They are currently renting part of a day care building and have started groundbreaking for a church building across the road on the mountain side. It's a really cool place with sweet, sweet friendly people and it definitely reminds me of growing up building a new church. They had 2 mission teams from Missouri there to help with VBS this week. One of the teams was staying at Linsay's parents house and they were awesome people!
The sermon was given by a man from the mission team who is on staff for missions with that church and who used to be a missionary in South Africa. He preached an awesome sermon on slowing down and stopping from Matt 20:29-34 where it says that ..."Jesus stopped". Then after church we all went out to eat at this realllly good mexican restaraunt. We sat on the second story with windows all around so you could see the mountains and lakes. Then we all got free dessert since it was Father's Day and the mission team paid for our meals!!
Then we headed to Lindsay's parent's lake house where we were planning on tubing but the wind was too gusty. We talked and cooked for hours, making halibut chowder. It was phenomenal. The people were so neat to talk to. One woman's son was a PT so it was fun hearing about that and the other one had foot problems so I gave her some advice and looked at her feet! It was just really enjoyable to spend time with such joyful people when I was away from family on Father's Day. 
This is just a really awesome cabin I saw the other day.
Miss yall,
Rachel :)
